Good (& legal) worship graphics are hard to come by. I can't tell you how many watermarked photos (i.e. illegal) I've seen in worship services across the country. Several years ago I stumbled across a great free graphics site called Stock Exchange (www.sxc.hu).
Anyone can post photos to the site, but each photo must pass a quality review before it will be added to the site. Many of the submisions are from true professionals. Most of the other submissions are still heads and shoulders above what you'll find at the typical photo-album-online site. Once you register online, which is free, you have access to watermark free, royalty free graphics. These are accessed through a great search engine as well as multiple catagory listings.
I like to type in a word or words that visually represent a theme for a worship gathering. The ensuing results allow me to build a coherant graphic representation of the planned worship journey. That way the images used for the music, prayers, sermons, liturgies, etc. all reinforce and add to the worship experience intead of being a a random mix of disjointed pictures.
